Today's session was a bit frantic due to me having the time management skills of deranged orangutang rife with rabies. I was supposed to follow Snatch doubles with Jerk behind the neck, Power Cleans and Clean Deadlifts, but I had to scrap the last two. Here is what I did:

Jerk behind the neck--1x2@80, 80, 100, 120 1x1@130, 140, 150, 155--I missed 155kg out front twice which was annoying. As you will see in the video below, over the last week I have been Jerking out front. Tommy said it might be because my back leg is too stiff, as in I am not getting under the bar enough. That felt like the reason to me as I was not dipping forward. This is a little habit I have developed over the last two weeks, so I will nip it in the bud now, cut back in weight and sort it out.

Have a look at the video--the Snatch double is actually with 90, not the reported 80 in the video-- and let me know if you see anything. I will be training in Limerick tomorrow and Saturday, so I am really looking forward to that.
